OPERATING PROCEDURES ETOPS ALL GENERAL OPERATIONS MANUAL PART A GENERAL Refer to EFB - Aide-Memoire & Checklists - ETOPS CL ETOPS operations are defined as those intended to be, or actually conducted, over a route that contains a point further than 60 minutes flying time (in still air) at the normal one-engine inoperative cruise speed from an adequate aerodrome. The approved one-engine inoperative cruising speed for all the fleet is 330 kt IAS. If an aircraft on an ETOPS flight remains within the rule distance from an adequate ETOPS airfield, the reliability of its engines and systems has been proven to be such that it will be able to reach that airfield given any reasonable failure or combination of failures. The factors that must be taken into account when planning flights over such distance include the availability of adequate aerodromes where a landing can be made in the event of an emergency occurring. All ETOPS operations shall be conducted in accordance with the policies and procedures contained in this OMA, the relevant aircraft type FCOM, the OMC / RAIG and any published supplementary procedures, as applicable. All flight crew shall receive training and checking before being qualified for ETOPS operations. The syllabus, training and checking requirements for ETOPS qualification are described in the OMD.

One Engine Failure 2. Aircraft Depressurization 3. Aircraft depressurization and one engine failure Following profiles are considered: ONE ENGINE FAILURE SCENARIO A. Descent at Speed Schedule B. Diversion Cruise phase at 330 kt C. Level off at optimum FL (altitude) at speed 330 kt or, if higher, at the MORA/MOCA/MEA (if on ATS route) or grid MORA (if off ATS route) at alternative speed schedule, taking into account obstacle clearance requirements, and supplementary oxygen availability. The fuel requirements for each of the three failure cases are then compared to the standard fuel requirement, and the highest quantity will be uplifted. This fuel uplift will then assure safe completion of the flight, regardless of flight scenario (normal flight or diversion).

Emergency Descent at MMO/VMO IDLE and with speed brake extended B. Diversion cruise phase at LRC (Long Range Cruise) speed C. Level off FL (altitude), FL100 (10 000 ft) or, if higher, at the MORA/MOCA/MEA (on ATS route) or grid MORA (off ATS route), taking into account obstacle clearance requirements, and supplementary oxygen availability. AIRCRAFT DEPRESSURIZATION + ONE ENGINE FAILURE A. Emergency Descent at MMO/VMO IDLE and with speed brake extended B. Diversion cruise phase at 330 kt speed C. Level off FL (altitude), FL100 (10 000 ft) or, if higher, at the MORA/MOCA/MEA (on ATS route) or grid MORA (if off ATS route), taking into account obstacle clearance requirements, and supplementary oxygen availability. The scenario resulting in the highest amount of fuel will be referred as the ETOPS CRITICAL FUEL SCENARIO and will be considered during determination of fuel planning for the flight. The critical fuel scenario will be applied from the Critical Point to the diversion alternate. Since the engine failure scenario is never fuel limiting, two scenarios in an ETOPS planned flight shall be considered in priority: ‐ Scenario 1: Aircraft depressurization ‐ Scenario 2: Aircraft depressurization and One Engine Failure For the computation of the ETOPS critical fuel reserves and of the complete ETOPS critical fuel planning, the diversion fuel must include the following fuel provisions: ‐ Fuel burn-off from the critical point and descent at the selected speed schedule to the required diversion level, ‐ Cruise at the selected diversion speed ‐ Normal descent to 1 500 ft AAL at the diversion aerodrome ‐ Fuel for 15 min of holding at 1 500 ft AAL at the diversion aerodrome (ISA) ‐ Fuel for an instrument approach and landing. OBSTACLE AND OXYGEN REQUIREMENTS If a planned diversion schedule to an ETOPS enroute alternate requires a deviation from the standard contingency scenario (e.g. VMO speed schedule does not satisfy obstacle clearance requirements during diversion, or direct routing to the airport is obstacle clearance compromised), then the alternative will be specified (e.g. reduced speed for a portion of the flight in order to comply with MORA restrictions, or the diversion route may include a part of a published ATS route, etc.). If during a diversion planning to an ETOPS enroute alternate, obstacle restrictions lead to extra oxygen profile requirements, affecting the planned diversion route, then this will be specified.

Contingency fuel, aircraft performance factor, and APU fuel consumption are automatically calculated by the E-OFP. Icing, MEL/CDL penalties are applied if required. CORRECTION OF WIND ERRORS The fuel to compensate for any error in the wind forecast from the Critical Point to the diversion aerodrome is based on a forecast wind speed increased by 5% (an increment to headwind or a decrement to tailwind). CORRECTION OF ICING Fuel to account for icing is taken into account in determining the ETOPS Critical fuel reserve for any planned flight. For this purpose, an amount of fuel shall be added to the Minimum ETOPS Fuel reserve, taking into account the greater of: 1. The effect of airframe icing during 10% of the time during which icing is forecast (including ice accumulation on unprotected surfaces, and the fuel used by engine and wing anti-ice during this period), or 2. Fuel for engine anti-ice, and if appropriate wing anti-ice for the entire time during which icing is forecast. Note: Unless a reliable icing forecast is available, icing may be presumed to occur when the Outside Air Temperature (OAT) is between 0ºC and -20ºC with a Relative Humidity (RH) of 55% or greater.

A programme is established by the OCC to monitor aircraft in-service deterioration in cruise fuel burn performance. CORRECTION OF THE APU FUEL CONSUMPTION Fuel to account for APU use (only for the one-engine-inoperative scenario, if APU is operative) is taken into account in determining the ETOPS Critical fuel reserve for any planned flight. CORRECTION FOR MEL OR CDL Additional fuel consumptions due to any MEL or CDL items are accounted for during the determination of the critical fuel. This will be documented on the E-OFP.

Primary airframe systems are considered to be all those systems which have a fundamental influence on flight safety and include, but are not limited to: ‐ Electrical, including battery ‐ Navigation and communications, including any route specific long range navigation and communication equipment ‐ Hydraulic ‐ Pneumatic ‐ Flight instrumentation, including warning and caution system ‐ Auxiliary power unit (APU) ‐ Air conditioning and pressurization ‐ Fuel ‐ Cargo fire suppression ‐ Flight Control ‐ Emergency equipment ‐ Ice Protection ‐ Engine fire detection and extinguishing systems ‐ Engine Start and ignition ‐ Propulsion system instruments ‐ Any other equipment required for ETOPS ETOPS remains a "dispatch" consideration. An inflight loss of an item that degrades the aircraft status below that required of ETOPS dispatch does not mandate a decision to divert. Nevertheless, the implications regarding continued suitability for ETOPS operation must be considered by the CAPT and the impact of such a degradation assessed.

French Bee subcontracts its ETOPS Planning and Flight Watch to Air Caraïbes Atlantique (ACA) OCC. To this end French Bee regularly audit and feedback issues affecting ETOPS planning. FLIGHT MONITORING The OCC will monitor the French Bee ETOPS flight continuously, commencing at least 60 minutes before a flight departs and till the aircraft end the ETOPS Segment. Particular attention shall be given to: ‐ Enroute weather METAR & TAF for ETOPS enroute alternates; ‐ SIGMET, NOTAM, SNOWTAM & ASHTAM messages; ‐ Any alteration to the status of enroute alternate facilities (navigation and/or communication aids, ETOPS enroute alternate becoming unadequate); ‐ Closed or restricted airpsace. After the aircraft departure and before reaching the EEP, the OCC shall notify at the earliest the flight crew of any situation that could render the ETOPS E-OFP / Flight plan invalid or that could require an inflight replanning. This could include a new E-OFP uplink and/or specific instructions via ACARS, SATCOM or voice communications when required. Refer to 08-03-02 GENERAL DELAYED DISPATCH If the dispatch of a flight is delayed by more than one hour after ETD, the OCC shall monitor weather forecasts and airport status at the nominated en-route alternates to ensure that they stay within the specified planning minima requirements until dispatch. RECALCULATION OF ETOPS WINDOWS The recalculation of the ETOPS windows shall be made by the OCC with the actual takeoff time. A recheck of Inflight Weather minimum is then reviewed by the dispatcher. Should there be any ETOPS Enroute Alternate airport to become at or below weather minimums and/or a new NOTAM to negatively affect one of the retained airports, the flight crew would be contacted immediately.

There are no requirements in the ETOPS rules to reach any of the EEPs, ETPs and EXPs with the FOB being at least equal to the fuel required by any of the critical fuel scenarios. Fuel remaining in flight shall be monitored as per Company rules to ensure that it is not less than the fuel required to proceed to an aerodrome where a safe landing with at least the final reserve fuel. EEP, ETP AND EXP INSERTION In order to display an ETOPS waypoint on the Navigation Displays, the flight crew has to create a "NEW WAYPOINT" in the aircraft FMGS. However, the flight crew must not insert the new waypoint in the active flight plan, due to the following reasons: ‐ The waypoint is not part of the ATC F-PLN, ‐ An error in coordinates may cause a dangerous track deviation, ‐ The waypoint would corrupt position reporting (CPDLC/ADS). The flight crew should select waypoint identification as following: ‐ "EEP" for ETOPS Entry Point, ‐ "EXP" for ETOPS Exit Point ‐ "ETP1, 2, etc" for ETPs The flight crew obtains the latitude and longitude of the ETOPS points from the E-OFP. DECISION MAKING Flight crew shall monitor the forecast weather for any required ETOPS alternates whilst en-route. Whenever the EWAS is operational, it shall be used to obtain the latest weather information along with the latest NOTAMS. If EWAS is not operational, the flight crew shall use ACARS to obtain the latest weather. Once the aircraft has been dispatched, the ETOPS alternates remain suitable if the forecasted weather reports indicate that the weather will remain at or above the Aerodrome Operating Minima. Should the weather at a selected alternate deteriorate below landing minima prior to entering the ETOPS segment (EEP), or whilst in the ETOPS segment, another alternate shall be nominated that satisfies the weather requirements.

It must be noted that it is part of the OCC duties to check proactivaley the availability of ETOPS enroute alternates before entering EEP up to the EXP. If the selection of a different ETOPS alternate aerodrome is not possible, the flight must not enter the ETOPS segment and it must be rerouted according to normal flight planning rules. If already in the ETOPS segment, the CAPT shall decide whether to continue or if fuel on board permits, re-route on a non-ETOPS route. Any revised E-OFP with new ETOPS details must be made available at the earliest to the flight crew. The Aircraft status will also be checked and the flight crew will divert for any failure requiring a diversion to the nearest suitable airport (cases leading to a LAND ASAP/ANSA message on the ECAM). ENROUTE FLIGHT MONITORING The flight crew shall: ‐ Monitor aircraft systems as per French bee SOPs and A350 FCOM, ‐ Monitor weather and NOTAMS (using EWAS when operational). Monitor runway conditions and any significant changes in conditions of ETOPS and other enroute alternates from the earliest ETA until the latest ETA + 1hr for diversion decision making purposes, ‐ Monitor all engine parameters including fuel flow and performance related behavior in order to maintain updated of engine fail scenarios and related performance, ‐ Make sure that the aircraft is maintained within the Maximum Diversion Distance from the ETOPS Enroute Alternates at all times. ATC direct routings and weather avoidance must be carefully considered to ensure these remains so. ‐ Monitor Navigation accuracy and ensure that the aircraft remains within the area of operations, as per French bee SOPs and A350 FCOM.

The new ETOPS Enroute alternate should be within the maximum diversion distance of the route. The new choice should represent the best option available at the time. In practice, this means that the aircraft may stay on the present route and find an ETOPS En route alternate as close as possible to that route, it may be the previous or next planned ETOPS Enroute Alternate. The flight crew will divert for any failure cases requiring a diversion to the nearest suitable airport (cases leading to a LAND ASAP / LANSA message on the ECAM).

However, there is no requirement to adopt this particular speed schedule for an actual diversion during an ETOPS Flight. The CAPT is free to adopt strategy he considers most appropriate after assessment of the overall situation. Following an engine failure, the selected speed, aircraft gross weight, thrust setting and OAT will determine the altitude capability of the aircraft. All ETOPS routes are evaluated for obstacle clearance based upon the net level off altitude at the single engine speed declared by the Company for the aircraft type concerned, and assuming maximum continuous thrust is set on the operating engine. Obstacle clearance is therefore not expected to be a limiting factor following an engine failure, provided the selected diversion speed is equal or less than the declared Single Engine Speed. Any speed may be used within the normal operating range of the aircraft i.e. between an upper limit of VMO/MMO, and a lower limit of green dot speed or minimum clean speed. ‐ Higher speeds will minimize diversion times, but will result in higher fuel consumption and a lower level off height (terrain clearance). ‐ Lower speeds will increase diversion time, but will result in lower fuel consumption and a higher level off height.

A "Verification Flight" shall then be planned in the following circumstances: ‐ There is no effective ground check, or ‐ No AMM exists, or ‐ BITE checks do not adequately verify system operation or effectiveness of the corrective action, and ‐ The system can only be finally “confirmed fixed” during actual operation in the air (i.e. fault cannot be duplicated on ground). This must be accomplished during the first 60 minutes of the flight and before the aircraft enters the ETOPS area. Verification flights are a requirement defined by French Bee Engineering. The Engineering will: ‐ Record in the Aircraft Technical Log Book (TLB) the following statement "ETOPS Verification Flight Required" (the system to be checked including necessary details will be added) in the Defect Column of the Technical Log for the incoming flight. ‐ Contact as soon as possible the French Bee OCC to let them know that an "ETOPS Verification Flight Required" is planned. The OCC will: ‐ Contact the CAPT to inform him/her that a "Verification Flight" will be planned; ‐ Issue 2 distinct E-OFPs in case of the Verification Flight should be planned on an ETOPS flight: a. 1 E-OFP for ETOPS conditions. b. 1 E-OFP for NON-ETOPS conditions. ‐ Ensure that the landing weight at the destination will not be exceeded if the shorter of the two routes is eventually flown. If unable to carry fuel for the Non ETOPS route, a reduced payload or a technical stop will be planned. Should the OCC be not able to issue two distinct E-OFPs (one ETOPS E-OFP and one non-ETOPS E-OFP) and the ETOPS verification flight be not successful too, then the CAPT shall return to the point of departure (or its alternate).
